•  
• There is a fierce competition among individuals
  within any species, humans included, to gain
  access to reproductive privileges. The fittest
  a term that signifies the largest, prettiest,
  and most sexually attractive members, succeed in
  predominantly mating and having offspring, while
  the less attractive ones often do not. What is
  the role of such sexual selection from an
  evolutionary standpoint?
